It's sparked a rise in hate crime. Well done Conservative party.

I watched that on television. Muck-stirring.

[spathiphyllum]

Muck-stiring?

That's not your attitude towards antisemitism in the labour party now is it?

[naomi24]

No - because that exists and is proven to exist. This is muck-stirring with time well-chosen.

[Baldric]

Yet another attempt by Labour to discredit the Tories imho.

[spathiphyllum]

Just because you can't see it Naomi doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Everyone knows how Johnson has referred to Muslim women lets not play dumb now.

[Mozz71]

There's too much Islamophobia in society full stop. Right wing politics seems to have it in an abundance.

[spathiphyllum]

It's the appeal for the fear factor.

What Johnson did was simply describe the way some folk looked. It was factual but some still try to make mileage out of it, to their shame.

[spathiphyllum]

It was disrespectful. It wasn't even correct. There is no similarity between a letter box and a burqa. Evidently our own PM is such a toff he's never had to use the public mailing system.

spath, I know what Boris said - and actually he made me laugh because I do happen to have a sense of humour - but that said, Boris is not the Conservative Party. This is muck-stirring. Nothing more and nothing less.

[spathiphyllum]

Boris isn't the conservative party but Jeremy corncob is the labour party?

It's one way or the other, Naomi.

Rose tinted glasses.

I watched this 'rant' as well which was more an attack on Boris himself rather than keeping on track regarding Brexit , it was a dirty fight from both sides

[spathiphyllum]

We don't put manors and society to one side because of the big brexit mess, Bobbi. There is more to politics than brexit, which is a fat mess. Like the PM.

So if someone had said that Black folk had big, flat noses or referenced slitty eyed Asians, that would be fine as they're only describing how people look?

[naomi24]

spath, //Jeremy corncob is the labour party? //

That's a question and if it's to me my answer is no, Corbyn isn't the Labour Party.

[Bobbisox1]

Eee Spath I've been waiting for this golden moment , it's manners not manors ( joke)

[Mozz71]

Nice work, you are now lady of the manner ;-)

[spathiphyllum]

"That's a question and if it's to me my answer is no, Corbyn isn't the Labour Party."

OK so next time someone used Corbyn to discredit the labour party you can inform them that they're wrong then, yes?

I won't hold my breath though.

Spath, anti Semitism is endemic within the Labour Party. They don’t need to rely upon Jeremy Corbyn to demonstrate it.
